10.

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Ten is the magic number for today.

I need to finish 10 pages by March 31st (today) and three of them are extra special assignments. I can feel the pressure! But since it has been quite awhile since I scrapped pages with my family’s pictures on it – Im excited to do it. Scrapping has been my stress releaser and with all the work I’ve done last week, I deserve to just sit on my chair and scrap all day long!

I’m going to take care of myself better this week too, I have been drinking soda and sweets to help keep me awake last week and now I’m detoxifying from it – also because of Lent. I heard some colon cleanser reviews about a product that was recommended to me and since it’s cheap, I might as well try it too.

Look out for some layout share this week! Ciao!

These are all about USD500 when I looked over at Amazon and I feel so lucky to have so many friends who voted for me, thank you very much! The point and shoot camera could not have come at such a right time because yesterday, my SLR lens broke :( It must have been broken when my Crumpler bag fell down ~ so right now, I’m charging the camera and will test drive it tomorrow! All these are FREE! My husband could not believe it either. His credit card was saved from swiping from a portable credit card machine because these are my wish items for the LOOOONGEST time :)

JWD Project 52 Week 10: Collections

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

For JWD Project 52: Wk10 – they told us to make a page about collections. Well, ever since I had two kids, my mission was to get as many pictures of the two of them together – so there.

Ever since I can remember, I have always loved anything that had to do with pictures – taking them, being in them – storing them, even just looking at them. When I had two kids, my focus was to get them two in pictures together as much as I can. It is hard! Especially with my two kids who are like cat and dog all the time. I can say this is my current collection – having as many pictures of them together growing up. Blame it on the scrapbooker in me, but I just love seeing them side by side, comparing them as they get older. I have so many ideas for my collection – they reflect their personalities so well and while they do not appreciate what I am doing now, time will come, that they will treasure all the pictures I took of them when they were kids. So for now, I’m going to go back being Mamarazzi and just take pictures. A LOT of pictures. Journalled: 23 March 2009.

Whoa, I can’t believe I managed to do the challenges until Week 10. Only three more weeks and I have completed JWD Project 52 in the first quarter!

This week’s a really good dare but I haven’t done my layout in time. In fact, I haven’t scrapped at all last week. I was too busy doing nonsense stuff – actually sleeping 8 hours a day, watching movies with my kids and looking for health insurance leads that I wasn’t able to do any work. Since this week is the last week of March, it’s going to be crunch time and I’m not going to waste time. Deadlines are looming.

The good thing about my laptop reformat is the discovery of precious pictures when I was transferring files from DVDs to my HD.
